I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that.
When I got there, out Started Six officers, on Horse back,
and orderd me to dismount;-one of them, who appeared
to have the command, examined me, where I came from,
& what my Name Was? I told him. it was Revere, he as-
ked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if
I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He
demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and
aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River,
and that There would be five hundred Americans there
in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up.
While the Tewksbury rider was galloping north, Paul Revere himself was on the road, traveling northeast from Charlestown to Medford. As we have seen, he had not planned to go that way, but once in the village of Medford, he went quickly about the task of awakening that community with remarkable economy of effort. He rode directly to the house of Captain Isaac Hall, commander of Medford's minutemen, who instantly triggered the town's alarm system. A townsman remembered that 'repeated gunshots, the beating of drums and the ringing of bells filled the air.'.... Along the North Shore of Massachusetts, church bells began to toll and the heavy beat of drums could be heard for many miles in the night air.
The Redcoats had set temporary roadblocks as a security measure and on their way to Concord they encountered British soldiers. Prescott managed to escape; Revere was captured and Dawes tried to run away but was arrested shortly thereafter. The British held Revere and interrogated him with a pistol on his chest. He was asked about the plans of the militia and where they kept their ammunition. When asked where the Patriots were hiding he told them the truth and replied that they had 500 militiamen in Concord protecting them and 1500 coming. As they rode towards Concord he was told that if he tried to escape he would be shot.
impression that she is, like, you know, 14 years old more than anything else. Not to mention her irritating habit of turning everything into a repetition of her bumper sticker sound bites. She cast this thing like it was some kind of Second Amendement question of "taking away our guns" and our freedoms, etc. etc. Apparently oblivious to the fact that the USA as such did not exist let alone its constitutional guarantees. And maybe more to the point is that there is just an unavoidable impression that she always, always winging it. Just scraping by on a fast mouth and much slower brain.
But that is at present her appeal. She is, perhaps for the first time in our politics, the candidate that ' is no better in any respect than the average of her supporters'. After years of reality TV and Oprah and the echo chamber of the internet and the narcisism of Twitter and Facebook there is a substantial minorty of voters who want someone who is just like them; no wonder, they are constantly being told or telling themselves that they are just pretty darn great.
....."She is the Paris Hilton of politics", do you mean she thinks Walmart sells walls as well?:sad:......
